Average stuff here.Įnjoyment: Lots of fun can be had with this in-depth puzzler.
Sound: Some tunes that fit the cities you visit as well as some classical menu music. The puzzles are crisp and have some very abstract ideas implemented in them. Graphics: Some good looking visuals here. Minor setbacks are things like somewhat drab music and inability to withdraw with a puzzle once you've entered it, but these are little things that can be overlooked greatly, because of this game's strong look and appeal. This is an original title with many aspects that set it apart from other puzzle games. This game mechanic will make you want to play more, furthering the game's playability. You will find yourself getting stronger in some puzzle types, but lacking in others. With this game, there are many different ways to play. It is fun to play these games, but their puzzles get a little tedious after a while. Likewise with games like Columns for the Sega Genesis. In games like Tetrisphere for the Nintendo 64, you only have one or two types of puzzles to play. Another good aspect that distinguishes this game from many others is the fact that it has many different types of puzzles for you to solve, not just one. Whether it's the interesting storyline or slick interface you just seem to be able to play the game easily. It has many little nuances that make it fun. I found myself getting into this game quite a bit. These little intricacies add to the gameplaying experience just a little bit more. The game also has some good presentation features like CGI cutscenes and some voice-over narration. It gives a nice extra little touch to the atmosphere while you try and solve each puzzle. There is also some background music that ranges from classical to blues, depending on the city that you are in. The menu interface also shares the same slick look as the puzzles so you won't have trouble navigating this easy to use game. The control is fairly simple as well, since the mouse is the chief means of puzzle operation. Each city has ten puzzles, one of each type. Other puzzles, like Rotascope, make you shift pieces around in a circular fashion, somewhat like a jigsaw puzzle. Some puzzles will make you complete a design on a vase, which requires you to rotate the vase to complete the design.
Freeplay and competitive modes are also available.Īll of the puzzles are represented in a slick 3D interface that makes the landmarks and pictures seem more real. Although, if you don't want to dive right into the action, a tutorial mode is available to immerse yourself before the real challenge. You might have to do a jigsaw puzzle of the Statue of Liberty in New York or make a pharaoh sculpture in Egypt. Each location's puzzles are represented with landmarks and cityscapes in them. On your search for the tricksters, you will go to different cities around the world. Each one of these evil creatures has their own story and background as well, which is told through cutscenes and text. These mischief makers include Anansi, Puck and Eris. The story mode lets you search after seven "tricksters" who have escaped from Pandora's Box. Pandora's Box combines elements of 3D puzzles with paintings, pictures and artwork ranging from city landscapes to renaissance masterpieces.
